I watched Sailor Moon in Swedish when I was younger, and me and my friends fell completely in love with the magical girl concept. I read parts of the manga and always meant getting more into it, but sort of forgot about it until I first heard about the plans of a reboot. I was engulfed with Sailor Moon fever, and I've been preparing myself by watching the original show and collecting 20th anniversary goods
Sailor Moon, despite only being available to me in Swedish, was one of the first shows that got me into Japanese pop culture - and though I might be somewhat of a rookie within the fan community and the franchise itself, I am super excited about the reboot. It's such an iconic franchise, and it deserves a new generation of fans. I am excited to learn that it will be broadcast worldwide on NicoNico, that was news to me, and I'm glad to hear it
I picked up a full set of
these figures during my Easter vacation in Amsterdam this year:
Two Sailor Venus (both with Artemis o_o; not sure if Artemis is included with every version of Sailor Venus or not) - at least they were the two different versions of her
Mercury not having any of this winking crap.
Sailor Moon with Luna (!), Tuxedo Mask with his fabulous top hat xD
I have also accumulated some 20th anniversary plushies and
the first 20th anniversary Sailor Moon S.H.Figuarts figure which was released last year.

Currently browsing the collectible toys and accessories on the official sites. So many goodies I want in my life. What is your one must have item?
What has the general reactions to the new characters designs been like? I personally like them a lot. They look elegant, and they feel very true to the original character designs from the manga. They look more mature somehow.
